LITTLE Rock, ARK, June st is
stated here that Gen. Walsh, of Hot
Springs, is very uneasy. The brother
OF Miss Dyer, whom he is accused Of
having outraged the 14th Of May, has
appeared on the scene and is the con.
stant companion Of his sister and at
tends her at court He says nothing,
and his tsmeness ia shocking to Gen.
Walsh. He has sent friends to the
young Texan to try aud draw him
out, bat the prudence of the young
man suggests that a still tongue
maketh wise head. Hence day after
day Gen. Walsh grows more nervous.
His Ears are increased by the knowl.
edge OF the fact that Miss Dyer is
known to have tried to pawn her
trunk for pistol to kill him with
soon after the alleged outrage of her
person. All these things taken into
consideration seem to create the fear
in Gen. Wslsh's breast that a DYER
tragedy may be enacted at any mo,
meat, which might prove most dis.
sstrous to his ability TO prolong his
earthly existence. In order to avert
any immediate danger, the general has
voluntarily surrendered himself to the
authorities, and now sleeps in the Gar
land county jail every night. 1t is also
said that young Dyer swore he would
kill his sisters seducsr before leaving
home, and tragedy is confidently ex.
pected by the people of Hot Springs.
